Weeks after CBS canceled Stephen Colbert 's The Late Show, the comedian has landed a new gig. PEOPLE has learned that Colbert will guest star on Elsbeth season 3. Better yet, art will imitate life, as he will play a late-night talk show host.

After CBS' shocking cancellation of Stephen Colbert's "Late Show," the comedian is set to play a late-night host elsewhere on the network.

What we can say is that Gayle King’s latest contract is set to expire in May 2026 - the same month in which The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will finish its run. So we'll just have to wait and see what develops in this time of reorganization and shaping of corporate vision.
